The absence of even a single finger results in a major impairment in the hand function (precise grasping, grip power), therefore significantly affecting the social and professional life of victims who are frequently young people. Finger amputation is a surgical treatment for ~69.000 patients in the EU after traumatic injury, in which replantation microsurgery fails due to the severity of tissue damage. The surgical reconstruction is currently possible only via autograft transplantation, e.g. a toe-to-hand transfer, thus leading to foot impairment. Some motion functional restoration is also possible using a bone-anchored silicone prosthesis but without the sense revalidation. Our current research focuses on alternatives for surgical reconstruction by means of novel patient- -specific, durable, biomimetic, bioactive and antibacterial implants for reconstructing lost bone and joints. The implant design – and the improved micro(neuro) surgery (beyond the project) – will consist in the fast successful rehabilitation, including the soft-tissue related mobility, the implantation of state-of-the-art nerve conduits as well as the aesthetic appearance. Key issues for the long-term functionality of the biomaterial-based reconstruction of hard tissue are based on surgical demands, such as: (1) perfect integration of a bone-substituting metal with the surrounding bone tissue (a) with no signs of loosening due to stress shielding at the interface and (b) enhanced with protective activity against bacterial inflammation (antimicrobial properties and formation of vascularized bone tissue (ossification)) even months to years after the injury; (2) biomimetic finger joints based on non-wearing materials without ossification meant to prevent the loss of the motion function.

The paper presents an analysis of the friction and wear processes of a composite coating based on molybdenum disulphide doped by tungsten and titanium, taking into account the impact of load and temperature in the contact zone. The tribological tests were performed at room temperature and at 300°C and 350°C in non-lubricated sliding contact with an Al203 ball. The characterization of the micromechanical properties and the adhesion of coatings to steel substrates were done by scratch testing. The analysis of the coatings wear and the sliding tribolayer formation was conducted by the observation of the friction track using light microscopy (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The low hardness of the MoS2(Ti,W) coating, equal to 6 GPa, with the predominantly amorphous structure, allows for quick formation of the tribological contact and the sliding tribolayer creation. Due to self-lubricating properties, the coating has a high wear resistance and a low friction coefficient (below 0.1), both at room and elevated temperatures. The study allowed the determination of the operating temperature limit of the coating-substrate system in sliding point contact, which helped to specify the application area of such material.

W pracy przedstawiono analizę procesu tarcia i zużycia kompozytowej powłoki na bazie dwusiarczku molibdenu dotowanego wolframem i tytanem z uwzględnieniem wpływu obciążenia i temperatury w strefie styku. Badania tribologiczne przeprowadzono w temperaturze pokojowej oraz 300°C i 350°C w niesmarowanym styku ślizgowym z kulą Al203. Dokonano charakterystyki właściwości mikromechanicznych oraz zbadano adhezję powłok do stalowego podłoża metodą zarysowania. W analizie zużycia powłoki i procesu tworzenia ślizgowej tribowarstwy posłużono się wynikami obserwacji powierzchni tarcia przy użyciu mikroskopii świetlnej (LM) oraz elektronowej mikroskopii skaningowej (SEM). Nieduża twardość powłoki MoS2(Ti,W) wynosząca 6 GPa, której struktura jest głównie amorficzna, pozwala na szybkie dopasowanie styku tribologicznego i utworzenie ślizgowej tribowarstwy. Dzięki samosmarnym właściwościom powłoka charakteryzuje się dobrą odpornością na zużycie i bardzo niskim współczynnikiem tarcia (poniżej 0,1), zarówno w temperaturze pokojowej, jak i w temperaturze podwyższonej. Badania umożliwiły wyznaczenie granicznej temperatury pracy układu powłoka/podłoże w ślizgowym styku skoncentrowanym, co jest pomocne w określeniu obszaru aplikacyjnego materiału.

The nanoindentation method is widely used to study the mechanical properties of thin films and surface layers. But the results of such a tests are difficult to interpret, especially for coatings with a thickness less than 1 žm. A new method of analysis of nanoindentation results are presented in this paper. It is based on simultaneous studies of experimental results by transformation indentation curves into stress-strain curves and FEM modelling. This method was compared with a few models provided in published literature. The influence of substrate properties and coating thickness on the deformation of the system and the critical depth of penetration to onset substrate yield are analysed.

Content available remote The wear mechanism of hybrid layer “PN+CrN” during the hot forging process
EN
Purpose: One of the most perspective development directions of surface engineering is related to hybrid technologies, which best fulfil the expectations of the industry concerning the obtainment of adequate properties of the surface of tools and machine components. The best known and widely employed hybrid technology of surface treatment using the diffusion phenomenon is the combination of gas nitriding or plasma nitriding (PN+CrN) followed by the deposition of hard, wear resistant coatings by the PVD methods. In this paper the wear mechanisms of forging dies, covered with the PN+CrN hybrid layer were analysed. Design/methodology/approach: The hybrid layers PN+CrN selected for testing were obtained by means of a multi-stage technology of surface treatment encompassing plasma nitriding (PN) and arc-evaporation process. Maintenance tests were conducted at Institut für Umformtechnik und Umformmaschinen in Hannover, according to different forging time. Findings: It was demonstrated that the dominating mechanisms of the wear process of forging dies covered with the PN+CrN hybrid layer are: thermo-mechanical fatigue of the CrN coating and thermo-mechanical fatigue and plastic deformation of steel substrate. Research limitations/implications: The CrN coating is of great importance in the wear process of forging dies covered with the PN+CrN hybrid layer. Very important in the die wear process is the resistance of the CrN coating to brittle cracking. CrN coating reduces, and as a result significantly limits, stresses initiated in the substrate in the forging process by the operation of external impacts. According to the results of simulation tests, 3 μm-thick CrN coating limits stresses initiated in material and hence reduces the possibility of plastic deformation occurrence in substrate. Practical implications: The obtained results of the tests have been practically applied in the surface engineering laboratory to develop modern surface engineering solutions aimed at increasing the effectiveness of different hybrid layers PN+CrN. Originality/value: In order to ensure the required level of effectiveness of the use of layered composites of the PN+PVD type to increase the durability of forging dies, it is necessary to properly select the composites on the basis of the analysis of the intensity of forging dies wear mechanisms.

W artykule przedstawiono wyniki badań strukturalnych (TEM) oraz pomiaru mikrotwardości i adhezji do podłoża metodą zarysowania powłok wielowarstwowych typu ceramika-metal. Dla wszystkich powłok przeprowadzono testy tribologiczne w skojarzeniu kula-tarcza. Powłoki były wytwarzanie metodą PLD (Pulsed Laser Deposition). Badano powłoki Ti/TiN oraz Cr/CrN o okresie multiwarstwy z zakresu 30-1000 nm. Wyniki badań wskazują na silną zależność twardości w funkcji ilości warstw w multiwarstwie, przy czym najwyższą twardość z pośród badanych powłok posiadają 4xCr/CrN oraz 16xTi/TiN. Twardość ich jest niewiele niższa od twardości pojedynczych powłok TiN i CrN. Multiwarstwy charakteryzują się lepszą odpornością na zarysowanie niż pojedyncze powłoki ceramiczne. Z badań tribologicznych wynika także, że odporność na zużycie multiwarstw Cr/CrN jest lepsza niż pojedynczej powłoki CrN. W pracy objaśniono efekt synergiczny, polegający na znacznym wzroście wytrzymałości oraz odporności na zużycie multiwarstw typu ceramika-metal w stosunku do pojedynczych powłok ceramicznych.

Ceramic/metal multilayers with nanometer thickness of layers are new kinds of materials for tribological applications. Stacks of hard ceramic and tough metallic layers give coatings with higher adhesion and wear resistance. Introduction of many interfaces parallel to the substrate surface can deflect cracks and provide barriers to dislocation motion, increasing the toughness and hardness of coating sometimes over single ceramic coatings. A critical parameter for the enhancement multilayer properties is the bilayer period [lambda] - because most multilayer systems exist optimum for this parameter. Then synergy effect - high hardness, toughness and wear resistance, obtained as a result of applying soft metallic coatings in a structure, could be observed. Coatings with a bilayer period low than optimum have poore properties caused by losing the multilayer structure. In the article micromechanical and tribological properties of metal/ceramic multilayers are presented. Multilayers of alternate Ti/TiN and Cr/CrN coatings were deposited on Boiler 7002 ferrite steel by the PLD (Pulsed Laser Deposition) technique. The total thickness of the multilayers was 1 žm, and the bilayer period [lambda] varied from between 30nm and 1,000 nm. For titanium multilayers 16xTi/TiN coating has a highest hardness and the best scratch and wear resistance however properties of this coating are still worse than a single TiN coating and chromium system multilayer 4xCr/CrN has superior properties over a CrN coating. The hardness of multilayer is only slightly lower but critical load and resistance to wear are almost two times higher than for a single ceramic layer. The optimum bilayer period to be found as 62 and 250 nm for Ti/TiN and Cr/CrN systems.

EN
Purpose: The purpose of the research was identification of the influence of TBC coating system on oxidation resistance of TiAl based alloy during oxidation at temperature of 900 and 950 degrees centigrade for 500 h and 200 h respectively. Design/methodology/approach: The APS technique was used to modify and improvement of oxidation resistance of TiAl intermetallic alloy. As a bond coat the NiCrAlY overlay coating was applied. The bond-coat provided a good bonding strength between matrix and ceramic top coat. The research allowed the identification of microstructural changes that take place between top coat and bond coat and bond coat and substrate. The examinations were conducted on specimens after 200 h and 500 h of exposition at 950 and 900 degrees centigrade. Findings: It was found that the surface conditions of basic alloy is electively protected by used type of ceramic coating. The basic alloy exhibited poor oxidation resistance at this range of temperature due to formation of mixed Al2O3 + TiO2 scale which is easily spalled off. A ceramic top coat together with bond coat can be effectively coated on the surface of TiAl basic alloy by APS method. Oxidation test both at 900 and 950 degrees centigrade showed that oxidation resistance of APS coated 48-2-2 alloy was improved. Research limitations/implications: Application of TBC remarkably improve the oxidation resistance of TiAl basic alloy due to lowering temperature of the substrate surface and due to formation of dense alumina sublayer (TGO) on the top surface of bond coat which can prevent diffusion processes of titanium and oxygen. Practical implications: The results obtained allow the determination of the degree of life-time lost of the TBC system used as protection for titanium aluminides alloys. Originality/value: The results obtained are valuable contribution to the development of new type of TBC for TiAl alloys. They enable the identification of the degradation mechanisms in YSZ/MCrAlY/substrate system.

Purpose: The purpose of the research was characterization of failure modes of air plasma sprayed thermal barrier coatings system in isothermal oxidation test conditions at 1100 degrees centigrade. Design/methodology/approach: The research allowed the identification of microstructural changes that take place during oxidation test of TBC system in area of ceramic top-layer, bond coat and superalloy substrate. The examinations were conducted on specimens after 50, 120, 500, 1000, 1500 and 2000 h of exposition. The scope of the research encompassed a microstructural analysis with the use of macro and micro investigation - LM, SEM microscopy. Findings: It was found that the lifetime of commercially quality TBC system is related to progress of degradation in area of bond coat and ceramic top layer. During isothemal oxidation, the bond coat in the TBCs was oxidized to form an alumina and a mixed oxide layer between the top coat of yttria stabilised zirconia (YSZ) and bond coat of NiCoCrAlY alloy. At the moment of oxidation acceleration, the cracks initiation and propagation was observed in the mixed oxide layer near the YSZ. The crack propagation inducted the delamination and spallation of top coat after 1000 h oxidation. Research limitations/implications: The discussed research proves that main reason of degradation in TBC system is related to progressive development of cracks at the interface of the thermally grown oxide with bond coat, within the top coat or at its interface with TGO. Practical implications: The results obtained allow the determination of the degree of life-time lost of the investigated TBC system and specification of the time of safety operation. Originality/value: The results obtained are valuable contribution to durability characterization of TBC systems. They enable the identification of the degradation mechanisms, which enhances the durability and safety of high temperature operation.
